Acts 9.32-43
Peter Heals Aeneas
"While Peter was traveling from place to place, he visited the Lord's
followers who lived in the town of Lydda. There he met a man named
Aeneas, who for eight years had been sick in bed and could not move.
Peter said to Aeneas, "Jesus Christ has healed you! Get up and make up
your bed." Right away he stood up.
Many people in the towns of Lydda and Sharon saw Aeneas and became
followers of the Lord.
Peter Brings Dorcas Back to Life
In Joppa there was a follower named Tabitha. Her Greek name was
Dorcas, which means "deer." She was always doing good things for
people and had given much to the poor. But she got sick and died, and
her body was washed and placed in an upstairs room. Joppa wasn't far
from Lydda, and the followers heard that Peter was there. They sent
two men to say to him, "Please come with us as quickly as you can!"
Right away, Peter went with them.
The men took Peter upstairs into the room. Many widows were there
crying. They showed him the coats and clothes that Dorcas had made
while she was still alive.
After Peter had sent everyone out of the room, he knelt down and
prayed. Then he turned to the body of Dorcas and said, "Tabitha, get
up!" The woman opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
He took her by the hand and helped her to her feet.
Peter called in the widows and the other followers and showed them
that Dorcas had been raised from death. Everyone in Joppa heard what
had happened, and many of them put their faith in the Lord. Peter
stayed on for a while in Joppa in the house of a man named Simon, who
made leather."
Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christdown to
die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days later
you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into my
heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
God bless you.
